Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })War Is Hell? Not to this guy. Fighting is everything to the Blood Knight. He lives for it. It's not winning or losing, morality, the motives of his allies, or even the glory that drives this guy so much as it is the opportunity for a good fight. A Blood Knight can be of any morality whatsoever, although Anti Heroes and Anti Villains tend to be most common. Heroic examples will frequently be The Big Guy in an ensemble, the character most likely to solve his problems by force of arms. They might make the less violent members of the crew a little nervous, especially if they go off on a hair trigger. He may merely enjoy the challenge and not hurting others necessarily; some don't hurt people unprovoked since they have a sense of right and wrong. The Blood Knight doesn't even have to be a particularly violent man most of the time. A common version found in Eastern fiction is the Wandering Martial Artist, who Wanders the Earth looking for strong opponents to test his skills against. This might be coupled with a love of fair duels and a desire to challenge the best and strongest. This type still enjoys the thrill of the fight, but usually eschews the death and bloodshed aspect. A living opponent, after all, can improve their skills and provide an even better challenge later. Defeat Means Friendship is a common occurrence with these guys, their opponent's or their own. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })As an antagonist, he has a good chance of being an Anti-Villain, since he doesn't want to kill the heroes, necessarily, just fight them. If he can find someone tough enough to beat him he might undergo a Heel–Face Turn and join the hero's team, or simply gain a newfound respect for his foe that he didn't have before. He might deliberately disadvantage himself in order to make fights last longer and loves to reveal that he is not left-handed. Despite the brutality that this trope implies, it's not uncommon for them to be a Noble Demon as well when they want an exciting fight on specific terms or when they reject unfair advantages because it would make the fight no fun. He may even betray his boss if he insists on interfering to pursue and obsess over his foe on his own terms. Less pleasant ones may do all kinds of horrible things to provoke their opponents into fighting them. Though if they specifically love to kill (rather than fight) they are a Psycho for Hire. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Personality-wise, more evil ones may be a Flat Character (and quite possibly The Brute) who just shouts "Maim! Kill! Burn!". Good/Sympathetic ones are usually more sophisticated/developed and can have aspects of the Warrior Therapist, Warrior Poet or Cultured Warrior. He might be a normal, jocular guy when he's not brawling, or he might take the fight so seriously that he blocks out everything else and will therefore live only for battle. In some cases, the Blood Knight fights because he's looking for a way to die with meaning. A War God is very often one of these though he could also be Ax-Crazy or just The Sociopath. If there's a whole society of guys who like combat, you've got a Proud Warrior Race. If the character likes the killing part more than the 'fighting' part, they're a Psycho for Hire. (In fact it's not uncommon for Blood Knights to also uphold Thou Shalt Not Kill). The Egomaniac Hunter also thrives on aimless violent thrill and loves a worthy quarry instead of an opponent. If a character is in it for the challenge rather than just the fight, then we've got a Spirited Competitor. The Blood Knight's love of combat may be platonic, or it may have sexual undertones. It could also overlap with Ax-Crazy if their love of fighting crosses the line into psychopathic violence and mental and emotional instability. Sub-Trope of In Harm's Way. Sister Trope to Combat Sadomasochist, The Real Man, and Boisterous Bruiser. Compare Cavalier Competitor and, for a more general trope, Challenge Seeker. Also compare Sadist, whose favorite part of fighting is the pain and suffering of his opponent. May be from a Martyrdom Culture and will nearly always believe that War Is Glorious. If he (or she, though it's much rarer, however; see Lady of War) is in the military, then he will almost inevitably be a Colonel Kilgore. A Monster Knight has a high chance of being one. A more violent example that nonetheless fights on the side of good may (or may not) be a Sociopathic Hero. It also has nothing to do with a knight who uses Blood Magic. Contrast Shell-Shocked Veteran, who is of the opposite mindset (also contrast War Is Hell). Oh, just in case it wasn't clear, the character doesn't have to be a literal knight for this trope to apply. It is about the attitude, not the rank. It should be clear by now that this character loves laying the hurt. And ironically, it's because of this that these characters are quite likely to get saddled with a No-Harm Requirement at some point. A mission's success may forbid the use of any violence, a target may be too dangerous to hurt recklessly, this particular opponent may be too precious to hurt, etc. Whatever the case, it's often quite ordeal for many Blood Knights to handle such a challenge. Beating opponents to a pulp? Easy peasy. Putting them out of commission without hurting them? Not so much... Contrast with Reluctant Warrior, the exact opposite of this trope: rather than enjoying the thrill of battle, they instead treat it as a last resort. |

Arthur Curry aka Aquaman is a Boisterous Bruiser much like his Batman: The Brave and the Bold counterpart who treats armies of enemies and world ending threats like a day at the Amusement Park. There's many instances of Arthur whooping with glee while fighting his opponents and will happily jump out of airplane without a parachute after his Fiery Redhead Love Interest. Then again it is subverted a bit, Arthur doesn't start fights (in even in barrooms) without reason, he will show mercy to foes except when given no choice and the aforementioned Diana's Lasso of Truth reveals in Justice League that he is more scared and depressed than he lets on and just uses fearless bravado to cover it up. | |

Sherlock: John had shades of this. Likes the violence and danger of the Afghan war which he was forced out of due to an injury. Plus, he's very good at handing ass to criminals, despite him being a Pint-Sized Powerhouse, because he can get physical (especially if you threaten Sherlock). Though he is pretty clever at solving cases (being a doctor helps). | |

The titular villain of Megamind was like this. He didn't want to conquer the world, but rather to find a Worthy Opponent to challenge and develop his skills and experience as a supervillain. As soon as he kills his own nemesis, he's left without a worthy opponent to reduce his boredom. So, he creates a new superhero nemesis to give him a good fight, only for him to, later on, become eviler than Megamind himself and thus have to be stopped. As soon as Megamind defeats his own creation, he ends up saving the city and becoming a superhero instead, thus giving him more real challenges to feed his adrenaline rush, even though it would mean retiring from the supervillain business to become said superhero. | |

Taylor from Worm is not a combat monster, but she is a strategic genius who specializes in controlling the battlefield and developing strategies, and it's been suggested by at least one of her close friends that she lives for moments of great danger, when she is outnumbered and outgunned and the world is at stake, at least partially because that's when she's at her best. | |

In Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): Though San is not an Omnicidal Maniac nor as malicious as the rest of Ghidorah was, Vivienne observes via their Two Beings, One Body Sibling Telepathy that he seems to genuinely enjoy fighting. Vivienne likewise blurts to Godzilla's face that the latter seems to enjoy a fight, at which point Godzilla tells her of the difference between controlled combat and insane bloodlust. |

Samurai Jack: The Ikamandi that Aku hires to capture Jack are this when it comes to hunting; they absolutely love hunting to the point where it is the basis of their entire cultural identity, and they are the best hunters in the galaxy. They refuse to accept money for completing the mission, only agreeing because Aku promised that hunting Jack would be a satisfying endeavor. Of course, Aku also didn't consider the possibility that Jack would prove to be a sufficient enough challenge to the Ikamandi that they would happily let him go out of respect for his skill. | |

Advice and Trust: Asuka had trained to pilot a Humongous Mecha and fight alien monsters since she was a four-year-old child and found her mother's corpse hanging from a ceiling. Fighting it is her whole life and she genuinely likes it. Her self image is so tied to being a Pilot that, when Gendo fired her and Shinji, she very nearly collapsed right away. | |

Barbarians Rising: Attila is portrayed as far more savage and outright evil than the other barbarian leaders: whereas they're portrayed as lighter-gray freedom fighters, he's invading from outside Rome and simply wants loot and slaughter. Emil Hostina plays him as bloodthirsty bordering on psychotic. This has the effect of making the Roman-Visigothic alliance gathered to stop him into the heroes of the segment, in a reversal of the rest of the series. | |

In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ultron accuses Captain America of being "God's righteous man, pretending you could live without a war". Similarly, Steve's "nightmare" from Scarlet Witch is Peggy telling Steve his fight is over and the world no longer needs him. In the end, Steven concedes that he feels at home with the Avengers. This is extended to Captain America: Civil War where Steve can't accept the accords because it means he can't fight his own way. Steve acknowledges it's one of his shortcomings and apologizes for it, saying it's something he just can't change. By the Golden Ending of Avengers: Endgame Cap has learned to live without conflict and following Tony's example uses Time Travel to settle down and live a peaceful life with Peggy despite previously being frightened by that prospect in Ultron. | |

Akatsuki Kitten: Phoenix Corporation Overhaul: Agent Diamond is halfway between this and completely Ax-Crazy. The main point is that a person's death doesn't mean quite the same thing to her as it does to everyone else, but she loves the sight of blood spilling. She is, however, more likely to enjoy a fight than she is to simply kill weaklings for sport. | |

Angel loves a good slugfest; even when he was just a normal human he continuously got in bar fights aside from whoring around with wenches. After becoming a vampire (Angelus) he plays it smart becoming a Smug Snake but that changes when he gets cursed with a soul and conscience. Angel loves fighting evil and actively disappointed when he can't go hunting, hell the only times where Angel isn't a Blood Knight is when he's Angelus. | |

In The Expanse, Amos seems to be one of these. Although he tries to restrain himself, tries to do the right thing, and even ask the opinions of others if he's not sure a particular course of action is right, he's always just a hair-trigger away from killing someone. And he enjoys it. | |

Deathwatch has Quinn, the fur wearing psychopath who's first focus shot is him with his newly found spiked trench club. He also marks one of the few times a revolver bayonet is seen in cinema. Also, he collects scalps, making the origins of his furs somewhat questionable. He also remarked that he killed a man whilst on holiday in Blackpool. The film is essentially a horror version of Journey's end, set in a WW1 trench. | |

Trade Winds: Desmond Miles kills a lot of people in this story with his Assassin fighting abilities, and without remorse when they're slavers or attacking the ship he's on. Rumors abound among his shipmates in the East India company and the Royal Navy that he's a demon, or made a pact with the devil. The gossipers among his comrades even acknowledge this when he says he's a little bored with all the lack of fighting on the Allegiance, a dragon-transport bound for China, and they respond, only somewhat joking, that the devil craves blood. | |

The three unfrozen Jedi in the Cool Kids Table game Star War are far less peaceful than Ackbar expected. Gol even says that it's a good thing he found them instead of other Jedi since the ones who died during the Empire's take-over must have been incredibly weak if they were defeated by clones. | |

RWBY: Nora Valkyrie is just as enthusiastic about battles as she is about everything else. Her response to being launched into a monster-infested forest is to smile. Yang Xiao Long is a deconstruction of this trope. She admits that she's a thrill seeker who wants to travel the world and find exciting fights. Being a Huntress enables her to do that. As a result, instead of just entering a mob bar to find out what the bar owner knows about someone she's looking for, Yang deliberately antagonises the man and then fights all of his thugs, tearing up the bar in the process. Even her Semblance reflects her fight-happy personality — the more injured she gets, the more powerful her attacks become. However, this means she voluntarily leaves herself wide-open to attacks and her manner of fighting is extremely predictable. As a result, in Volume 3, the villains set her up to trigger their invasion: on international television, she is framed as apparently attacking a defeated and helpless tournament opponent, which triggers a global spike in negative emotions that enable the Creatures of Grimm, who are attracted by negative emotion, to attack humanity in force; this also brings her school, and its headmaster, into disrepute. At the height of the invasion, she attempts to save Blake from Adam Taurus by recklessly striking out, only for Adam to cut off her right arm with but a single stroke. She spends the whole of Volume 4 coming to terms with her defeat and disability and discussing the consequences of this trope with her mentor and father. When she returns to the front lines in Volume 5, she's become a calmer, wiser fighter who is more interested in fighting to protect than in thrill-seeking. Ruby Rose is a downplayed example. She wants to become a Huntress because she wants to protect people and, as she once tells the Beacon Academy headmaster, "if you're going to help people, you may as well make a career out of it". She has an instinctive talent for fighting and is a self-confessed "dork" when it comes to weapons. She designed her over-the-top weapon, a scythe that can also transform into a sniper rifle, and her first reaction to spotting a herd of giant Goliaths is "Let's kill it!"; when her friend Nora Valkyrie, who is also a Blood Knight, tells her to wait for them to arrive before she starts killing all the Grimm that are attacking a village, Ruby surveys the sheer amount of creatures and grins widely as she tells them they better hurry up, then charges in to take on the creatures alone. Ruby has silver eyes, which is a very rare trait on the world of Remnant. A legend so ancient most people haven't even heard of it states that anyone who is born with silver eyes has the power to kill the Grimm with a single glance; they are destined to lead the life of a warrior and become the greatest of all fighters. Ruby has manifested the power, she has no control over it, and, while the legend implies that she is born to fight and will know no other life, her enjoyment of fighting seems to be entirely her own. The Headmaster of Shade Academy, Theodore, turns out to be one. In sharp contrast to his fellow Headmasters, Theodore has boundless energy and a childlike enthusiasm when it comes to testing his strength against others. He starts out school assemblies by challenging his students to spar with him, going so far as to suggest he'll hand his job over to anyone that manages to beat him. Around the world, Vacuo's eccentric Headmaster has a reputation as the strongest of the four Headmasters, essentially ruling over a brutal kingdom where Asskicking Equals Authority. Theodore's love for fighting extends to the point of getting distracted when he comes upon one of his teachers fighting with a trio of students — instead of intervening to stop what is clearly a strange situation, he stands on the sidelines and cheers them on. |

Vic Hoskins of Jurassic World believes that war is just the natural state of the world. He sees Owen's raptors as nothing more than a promising exploitable goldmine to be sold to the military. Averted as unlike, say, Muldoon or Roland from the previous films, he demonstrates no physical feats of badassitude throughout the movie, and the man who spent a good portion of the film vocally glorifying violence and struggle ends up meeting his end at the hands of Delta, but not before tearfully and pathetically begging the creature for his life. | |

Supernatural: Dean Winchester. He loves hunting supernatural creatures. In a bit of a twist on this trope, it's not the fighting specifically he enjoys (although he's really good at that), it's the knowledge that the monsters they hunt won't be hurting people any longer. At the end of Season 5, Dean settles down with a girl and a kid and tries to live a normal life. He ends up leaving them for several reasons, the most driving one being the fact that hunting is in his nature. It's a part of him. He voluntarily abandoned a normal family life for a life of hunting evil. In Season 9, Dean gets the Mark of Cain, which ratchets his normal Blood Knight tendencies Up to Eleven whenever he is holding the First Blade and screws with his head—especially his logic and impulse control—even when he's not. In Season 10, he actually loses most of that bloodlust because as a demon he can control the power of the Mark better. War, the red horseman of the Apocalypse- naturally, as he put it to Sam. |

In the Whateley Universe stories, there's Counterpoint. He's a power mimic, among other powers, so whatever you've got, he's got too (within limits). He's regarded around campus as pretty psycho since all he wants to do is find worthy opponents and fight them. If he loses, he comes back and tries again. And again. And...he isn't interested in killing people, just beating them. It looks like Counterpoint might be the avatar (or something) of the Greek god Ares, so that actually makes sense. | |

Hank's father Cotton from King of the Hill loved fighting in World War II and often told others of his actions he would've continued to fight in other wars had the Japanese not blown his shins off, he will still pick fist fights if he feels he has to, usually to defend his honor, he is a formidable fighter for someone of his size and sometimes has to be restrained before he can kill someone if angered enough. Slightly deconstructed in that this eventually has him landed in a mental hospital in one episode. | |

Sentinels of the Multiverse: Ra started out in the fictional comics as "fire dude who fights things" (they mention an early outing where he went to Insula Primalis to set fire to dinosaurs) and got his actual personality kind of kludged into place afterwards. Haka is an intensely compassionate and noble soul, one of the kindest and most patient people in the Sentinel Comics universe, a storyteller, a teacher, a mentor, a friend and a surprisingly skilled baker who is known for his pies. However. He also likes to beat the snot out of villains with a giant cudgel. At least he's relatively moral about it; he prefers fights that don't endanger innocent bystanders. |

Planescape: The Outer Plane of Ysgard is the Chaotic Good/Neutral realm of the sympathetic Blood Knight. They fight all day, drink and party all night, and if they die, they are revived the next day to fight again. Basically, think Vikings but without the evil. | |

Dreamscape: Jasmine shows signs of this. She's the one who suggests the group have their own tournament just for fun in 'An Unofficial Tournament', and she isn't afraid to pull out the big guns in said friendly competition. Pita likes seeing his opponents in pain, especially if he is the one to dish it out. |

In The Man from Colorado, four years of bloody conflict have transformed Col. Owen Devereaux into this. His is driven by an urge to kill, but only those who he is allowed to kill. As an officer, this is enemy combatants. His Establishing Character Moment is him ignoring a white flag being waved by the Confederates and allowing his artillery to open fire on then. When he becomes a judge, he becomes a Hanging Judge, sentencing any criminal who comes before him to death. | |

The Child of Love: In chapter 3 Asuka had just woken up from a nightmare and was sick, weakened and bedridden. Then she heard there was a battle she was not taking part in. She rose right away and went to get in her giant robot and fight. Subverted after the Angel War since for that point she is already sick of fighting and killing and she wants to live peacefully. | |

Homestuck: Jack Noir is implied to be this. He's compelled by general bloodlust, but he seems invariably drawn to fights that will challenge him most. Ironically subverted for Karkat, whose Sgrub title is "Knight of Blood". He's anything but this. The title is still appropriate, just not by human standards. His entire species has been in perpetual conflict because they use blood color to define their caste system, so anything related to blood without specifying color has to do with the unity of the race. And indeed, he's the one most often struggling to keep his teammates from infighting. The B2 session has Caliborn, one of two individuals who regularly contact the post-Scratch kids. He wants to get into the game seemingly just so he could satisfy his bloodlust, and he turns it into a competition between himself and Calliope to the point where he relishes the idea of outright killing her. |

Kamen Rider Ryuki: Takeshi Asakura is one of the most frightening examples in modern media. A homeless Serial Killer who murdered his own family at the age of 13, Asakura feels a pathological tension that can only go away with senseless violence. When he is not in the presence of other people to fight or is not in a good shape to harm others, Asakura beats himself or asks to be beaten. His wish if he had won the Rider Battle? To fight forever. | |

With Strings Attached: The combat-addicted skahs wizards and warriors of Baravada. Unfortunately, they were so good at what they did that they wiped out all opposition and haven't had anything to fight except each other for at least ten years. They're so bored and have so little to do that when, in a brilliant Batman Gambit, Ringo spreads the word that there are monsters in the distant Ghost City of Ehndris, practically the entire skahs population of Ta'akan drops everything to try to get down there and see if it's true. | |

Schlock Mercenary: Most of the mercenaries are Private Military Contractors because of the money, their severe personality dysfunctions, a legally awkward situation in UNS space, or some combination of the above. Schlock, on the other hand, views the money as a nifty bonus that can be converted into Ovalkwik, guns, or both, and actively looks for the chance to get involved in carnage. It might be because amorphs don't really die, just get absorbed into the others, or it might just be because he's kind of nutty. Tenzy, too. Admittedly, a robot that started life as a heavily modified gun has low odds of becoming a committed pacifist. |

Valla, Demon Hunter in Heroes of the Desk is a downplayed version at first (as established in Diablo III, hatred must be tempered by discipline). However, after she defeats brainwashing solely through The Power of Hate, the "discipline" goes out the window and leads her to fully embrace this trope. | |

Exalted: After the end of the Primordial War, a Solar general despaired at the thought of peace because of strongly he had defined himself in the war he had been created to fight. After the minor wars of consolidation that followed the victory failed to satisfy him, he went directly to the Primordials' prison-world, deliberately forgoing any protection, to look for a fight. He got precisely what he wanted, and spent most of the High First Age happily rampaging his way through Hell. Slayers among Green Sun Princes are well-known for this. Their patron defines the smoldering rage that burns the world with overwhelming power. |

In Black Panther, Erik "Killmonger" Stevens and his accomplice Ulysses Klaue openly enjoy causing violence and chaos wherever they go. When tearing his way through a casino, Klaue acts like a giddy child at Disneyland while joyously remarking that it was awesome. Killmonger racks up kills like he's playing a video game and relishes the prospect of killing T'Challa's family and allies as seen when he sports a Slasher Smile before fighting Okoye, Nakia, and Shuri during the final battle. M’Baku is a heroic example of this, he cares greatly for his country and people but is still a Spirited Competitor and is visibly having a whale of a time of in the massive battle sequences. |

In Mad Max: Fury Road, Immortan Joe's band of Warboys believe in a perverse form of Viking honor and crave a glorious death in battle. Since almost all of them are dying slow, premature deaths from radiation poisoning and other illnesses related to the Crapsack World they live in, Big Bad Joe uses this Brainwashed and Crazy cult of personality to give them some semblance of meaning in life. This is best demonstrated by Nux's genuine happiness at the idea of dying on the Fury Road. They even have a duel Madness Mantra of "I live, I die, I live again!" or "Witness me!" before they sacrifice themselves. | |

Infinity: Amaterasu. However, she seems to have different kinds of Blood Knight personalities, varying between a cold, serious murder machine and openly admitting she's finding the battle a turn-on. Which she uses seems to depend on some combination of how angry she is... and how sexually attracted she is to her opponent. Yikes. As of Chapter 25, it seems her switching her Barrier Jacket into its Final Drive Mode is an indicator of when she's switched over. | |

Pathfinder: The chaotic neutral god Gorum, god of Strength, Battle, and Weapons. His followers are almost entirely all Blood Knights of one kind or another. Many half-orcs are also Blood Knights, to the point where a large group of them have formed their own Gorumite sect claiming Gorum is, in fact, the first Half-orc ever, and the reason he's always seen with steel armor covering all of his body is to hide his true appearance from human Gorumites, who wouldn't be able to handle his true appearance. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Tony Stark aka Iron Man funnily enough only became a true blood knight after he shut down the Weapon's Program for the military and built his Powered Armor suits due to his four-month stint in an Afghan cave. Where after his Heel–Face Turn, Tony took much pleasure in fighting back against his kidnappers, as he said upon escaping the cave in his Mark 1 suit... "My turn". Tony can be Well-Intentioned Extremist Mad Scientist but it's clear as we see him fight the villains, Tony just loves fighting evil and building more suits to fight evil better. Despite more or less being a man in a can, Tony doesn't back down to anyone even when up against Thor... only smiling as Thor's lightning bolt powers his suit up, Tony even shows enjoyment when fighting the freaking Hulk who would ruin his day if Tony wasn't wearing the suit made to fight said person. Black Widow in her report to SHIELD states Tony is "self-destructive", to which he replies "Aren't we all?". Tony’s Thrill Seeker behavior also explains why he’s still Iron Man in Avengers: Age of Ultron despite seemingly to retire in Iron Man 3 as Tony explains he enjoys super heroics too much to quit. It's a mark of his long and winding Character Development in Avengers: Endgame that Tony does prefer a peaceful life with Pepper and his daughter Morgan, and only becomes Iron Man again to bring back his and everyone else loved ones after Thanos's snap rather than the selfish heroics of his earlier films. Emil Blonsky from The Incredible Hulk held off being promoted out of the battlefield, despite his aging body (looking 45 when he's 39) for the sheer joy of being a "fighter", and when the opportunity to fight a foe as formidable as the Hulk arose, was willing to have himself transformed into a Supersoldier and an outright abomination (no pun intended) to be able to have a "real fight". At the start, Thor is like any Asgardian of legend: boastful, headstrong, and will gladly take any challenger to task in the name of his homeland laughing like a boy when fighting colossal Ice Giants, and still smiling even when one headbutts him in the face. However, spending some time on Earth weans him from his one-track mindedness. Nonetheless, he still relishes fighting; upon realizing how much of a challenge the Hulk is, he smirks. In The Avengers (2012), the Hulk only has one reason to live; as Cap gives him the simple order "Smash" he gives a brutish smirk and gives the invading Chitauri something to think about. Even when facing Loki, an Asgardian a god in the eyes of humans, Hulk doesn't waste a second smashing Thor's little brother into the ground and walking away growling Puny God in disappointment. Hulk was at most happy being the crowning champion of the Gladiator Games in Thor: Ragnarok, he was probably much more comfortable on Skaar than Earth. Clinton Barton aka Hawkeye despite being a Family Man and all-around good-natured person, that has to be Brainwashed into evil still has more than sanguine attitude towards combat. Guardians of the Galaxy: Drax the Destroyer. When the team gets into fights, he is clearly enjoying himself throughout, laughing like he's on a roller coaster while brutally slaughtering dozens of mooks. Rocket Raccoon. He approaches firearms, explosives, and their use with all the giddy joy and level-headed justification of a serial arsonist. When he is finally given a weapon (a large, high-powered Gatling-style gun that's twice his size) to use during the prison break, his reaction is essentially a barely-contained orgasm: In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ultron accuses Captain America of being "God's righteous man, pretending you could live without a war". Similarly, Steve's "nightmare" from Scarlet Witch is Peggy telling Steve his fight is over and the world no longer needs him. In the end, Steven concedes that he feels at home with the Avengers. This is extended to Captain America: Civil War where Steve can't accept the accords because it means he can't fight his own way. Steve acknowledges it's one of his shortcomings and apologizes for it, saying it's something he just can't change. By the Golden Ending of Avengers: Endgame Cap has learned to live without conflict and following Tony's example uses Time Travel to settle down and live a peaceful life with Peggy despite previously being frightened by that prospect in Ultron. Spider-Man (yes even him) as first seen in Civil War when Spidey utterly overpowers Falcon and Bucky but is delighted as a schoolboy (which he is) throughout the fight, even geeking out over Bucky's metal arm when he effortlessly catches his fist. Even up against Giant-Man while shocked at first, Spidey leads the rest of Team Iron Man in bringing it down and exclaims in triumph when he succeeds, only to be knocked down as well. In his solo movie Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter is completely reckless at times, extremely anxious for another chance to kick with the Avengers after Berlin and is left disappointed. Spidey even breaks the limits aka "training wheels" put inside his suit by Stark when foiling the Vulture's plans leading to him getting punished by Tony himself. Before the end of the climax of the movie, Peter was willing to throwing his school/social life away just to chase the glory of being a superhero before reality kicks in, but heeding his Stark's words Spidey learns from his reckless mistakes and man-ups. Peter plays it safe from then on, even refusing Stark's offer to be become recognized officially as an Avenger despite wanting it to fight with The Team so badly before then. Hela in Thor: Ragnarok is a villainous example. She talks about how the shining glory of Asgard was won in battle; Asgard's sole purpose once was to justify her and Odin's endless bloodlusts. When she slaughters the entire Asgardian army, she's clearly enjoying herself immensely. In Black Panther, Erik "Killmonger" Stevens and his accomplice Ulysses Klaue openly enjoy causing violence and chaos wherever they go. When tearing his way through a casino, Klaue acts like a giddy child at Disneyland while joyously remarking that it was awesome. Killmonger racks up kills like he's playing a video game and relishes the prospect of killing T'Challa's family and allies as seen when he sports a Slasher Smile before fighting Okoye, Nakia, and Shuri during the final battle. M’Baku is a heroic example of this, he cares greatly for his country and people but is still a Spirited Competitor and is visibly having a whale of a time of in the massive battle sequences. Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel is a brutally stoic character until her brainwashing wears off, but if there’s one that stops her from being a Flat Character it’s her crazed love of combat as seen when fighting Skrulls◊. Thanos the villain of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame is a more subtle example and in fact he likes to act like all the violence he commits are all For The Greater Good. This is bull of course as Thanos clearly does enjoy killing and fighting, to point of even getting a Slasher Smile at one point while trying to kill Thor in Endgame. There are also several instances in Infinity War where he either tells the heroes to Bring It or gives them Villain Respect for their bravery. This side of his personality was hinted back in his Guardians of the Galaxy cameo (albeit before his characterization was fully established) as Thanos says to Ronan that his politics "bore" him, slightly foreshadowing his own extreme approach to handling a population crisis... well he is called the "Mad Titan" for a reason. Thanos's adoptive children take after him, especially The Brute Obsidian Cull who Word of God enjoyed killing solely for his personal pleasure. Thankfully for the Avengers he is Dumb Muscle being the first to be killed in the second timeline. |

Tony Stark aka Iron Man funnily enough only became a true blood knight after he shut down the Weapon's Program for the military and built his Powered Armor suits due to his four-month stint in an Afghan cave. Where after his Heel–Face Turn, Tony took much pleasure in fighting back against his kidnappers, as he said upon escaping the cave in his Mark 1 suit... "My turn". Tony can be Well-Intentioned Extremist Mad Scientist but it's clear as we see him fight the villains, Tony just loves fighting evil and building more suits to fight evil better. Despite more or less being a man in a can, Tony doesn't back down to anyone even when up against Thor... only smiling as Thor's lightning bolt powers his suit up, Tony even shows enjoyment when fighting the freaking Hulk who would ruin his day if Tony wasn't wearing the suit made to fight said person. Black Widow in her report to SHIELD states Tony is "self-destructive", to which he replies "Aren't we all?". Tony’s Thrill Seeker behavior also explains why he’s still Iron Man in Avengers: Age of Ultron despite seemingly to retire in Iron Man 3 as Tony explains he enjoys super heroics too much to quit. It's a mark of his long and winding Character Development in Avengers: Endgame that Tony does prefer a peaceful life with Pepper and his daughter Morgan, and only becomes Iron Man again to bring back his and everyone else loved ones after Thanos's snap rather than the selfish heroics of his earlier films. |

Several examples can be found in Dungeons & Dragons: The Elves of the Valaes Tairn in the Eberron setting. The Battleragers in the Forgotten Realms setting are dwarves enamored with battle. While they also protect their home clanholds, the fight is what they desire most, and they run towards it with a fervent glee that give even drow pause. Garagos and Tempus in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. The former is the divine exemplar of Blood Knightdom, a multi-armed blood-soaked berserker who even makes the other gods nervous; the latter is a much more sensible war god who likes fearless berserkers and isn't shy about bloodletting but avoids excessive destruction of resources or lives (which can be used for another battle) and generally advertises war as the most heroic pastime possible. He also does not consider those who oppose his dogma real foes worthy of a conflict (some of the descriptions even indicate that while he doesn't understand Eldath, the goddess of peace, he does genuinely respect her conviction), and has the necessity of peace as part of his dogma ("war is only given meaning by the peace that follows"). If an Orc is given a motivation in D&D, he'll probably be a Blood Knight. Hobgoblins are this too but in a different way then Orc. They focus is on collective martial prowess and victory rather than raving like a madman. Warblades, from the Book of Nine Swords, revel in melee and seek, above all else, to gain glory from combat. Planescape: The Outer Plane of Ysgard is the Chaotic Good/Neutral realm of the sympathetic Blood Knight. They fight all day, drink and party all night, and if they die, they are revived the next day to fight again. Basically, think Vikings but without the evil. |

Smallville: Phantom Zone escapee Titan is an alien Supersoldier and Proud Warrior Race guy portrayed by Kane. Having arrived on Earth, he fights his way through biker bars, and criminal hangouts, eventually participating in underground gladiator-style competitions with Meteor Freaks, before finding the ultimate Worthy Opponent in Clark. Think of a Nigh-Invulnerable wrestler with an attitude problem and you've got him. Clark becomes one under the influence of Red Kryptonite, Bizarro, as well as Clark Luthor from Earth-2. Even the normal Clark gets in the act when he is in a bad mood. |

Speaking of Wonder Woman (2017) there's the film's Big Bad Ares, who revels in conflict and chaos as per his nature having killed the entire Olympian Pantheon. Though Ares does actually go about his warmongering in smarter ways than just throwing his power around, as he reveals to Diana he's been manipulating and influencing humanity for years without taking direct action himself. Ares genuinely believes Humans Are the Real Monsters and the world would be better off without them, Diana along Steve Trevor prove him wrong with a Heroic Sacrifice and The Power of Love. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: An example in the least expected place: Leck, a Ferengi "Eliminator" (read: assassin, he "eliminates competition") who is in his chosen profession for the thrill of a good fight, not for the profit—something that would be unthinkable for most Ferengi (though being in demand certainly doesn't hurt). The Jem'Hadar are created to fight, but they do seem to enjoy it — early on they express disappointment that the Federation ship they're fighting doesn't have any Klingons on it, because they've heard Klingons are the Alpha Quadrant's greatest warriors and are really looking forward to the chance to fight some. |

Binky Barnes from Arthur was hinted to have shades of this in one episode. During a summer workshop session, he and Sue Ellen competed in a karate match, and he manages to win against Sue Ellen, only for him to be upset that she lost due to realizing that she didn't even bother to try and beat him (due to thinking from one of Francine's sister's teen magazines that kids hate people who are exceptionally skilled), sending him into a deep amount of depression, which was only cured when Sue Ellen managed to actually defeat him in karate after getting her act together. | |

The Longinus Dreizehn Orden from Dies Irae is absolutely loaded with these kinds of people, be it serial killers or war criminals, the majority of them want nothing more than endless war and bloodshed. Perhaps exemplified best with their leader, Reinhard Heydrich, whose driving motivation is to find a worthy foe that can fight with him on equal terms as well as having the secondary goal of creating a new natural law where everything will be nothing but eternal warfare and strife. | |

Pearl from Steven Universe is this to an extent, having a highly romanticized recollection of her time fighting in the Gem Rebellion. Garnet, whom would be expected to at least have traces of this due to Ruby's personality, averts this trope, reflecting on the war with the attitude of a Shell-Shocked Veteran. Amethyst and Jasper play the trope straighter, as both are more aggressive and enjoy fighting for its own merit. Given the events of "Steven Vs. Amethyst", it's possible that fighting is a natural form of emotional expression/venting/bonding for Quartz gems. | |

Aliens: All The Marine Troopers qualify, except Gorman. Even the main female of the squad Jenette Vasquez was the most bloodthirsty of the lot, screaming the iconic "LET'S ROOOOOOCK!!!" before fighting the Xenomorphs. Hudson acted tough for the most part but revealed himself as a Lovable Coward toward the end of the movie. But still died like a blood knight screaming at the Xenomorphs (who were everywhere) to give him their best they've got as he killed dozens of them before being overwhelmed. |

Girl Genius has the Jägermonsters: Blood Knight Super Soldiers frequently slipping into Cloudcuckoolander territory. With Nice Hats. Bangladesh Dupree is an Ax-Crazy example. And expects the same from others. Though she's aware enough to specify if "a town really needed burning" or if this time she didn't kill anyone. Captain Vole, who is so bloodthirsty that the other Jägermonsters kicked him out. He initially joins up with Gil because the latter beat the crap out of him multiple times, but then makes it clear he is now perfectly willing to go with him simply because the ensuing civil war will be one of the most glorious things in history. He seems to have lost these tendencies, however, after an incident during his retrieval from a time-stop caused him to age hundreds of years in seconds. It's unknown if it's him being Older and Wiser or if the trauma of that stint, which he described as a hundred-year nightmare, traumatized him off bloodshed. |

He refers to his security team as the "Bear Pack", throws new recruits into an Unwinnable Training Simulation that consists of a dozen Borg in a boxing ring, and begs to be allowed to shoot another ship's warp core (which he has already locked onto) because "I have been very good this month." Given that he is a gray-haired Bajoran, it's probably safe to assume that he got this attitude as part of La Résistance. | |

BattleTech: The Warrior caste of the Clans live solely for war, and prefer to die in combat than of old age. Some Crusader Clans are more ruthless than the rest, such as Clan Jade Falcon, Smoke Jaguar, and Ice Hellion. Rather than die of old age, "outdated" Clan warriors past 35 years old are reassigned to Solahma units, given an outdated assault rifle, and sent out as Cannon Fodder to distract battlearmor and battlemechs. | |

For literal knights, there are the Knights Belligerent of Kill Six Billion Demons. Their creed includes such cheery elements as "If it has a pulse, remove its skull!" and "Let us cut God to see if he bleeds!" They worship Jagganoth, one of the seven "New Gods", who happens to be an Omnicidal Maniac. | |

DC Extended Universe: Dark Chick Faora from Man of Steel while she seems likes a dispassionate individual, still clearly loves combat as she smiles in battle, though to be fair she was literally born to be a solider. Faora even spells out in one line claiming "A good death is it's own reward". She's also surprisingly honorable as when Colonel Hardy (a squishy mortal man) challenges her with knife, instead of just flattening him she responds to his gesture pulling out a knife of her own. Her leader, General Zod also has shades of this in the climax sporting a Slasher Smile while fighting Supes but this is may have been due to his Villainous Breakdown at loss of his entire race. Much like her New 52 version, Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman enjoys combat quite a bit in the films. This is first seen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice during her fight with Doomsday, whom her teammates Superman and Batman appropriately treat like a horrific threat, while Diana on the other hand is actually having fun fighting the beast. In her solo movie there's more than a few instances of Diana cracking a smile and laughing while fighting or doing anything exciting. Although it's important to note while she does enjoy battle, Diana despises needless bloodshed and the death of innocents. Speaking of Wonder Woman (2017) there's the film's Big Bad Ares, who revels in conflict and chaos as per his nature having killed the entire Olympian Pantheon. Though Ares does actually go about his warmongering in smarter ways than just throwing his power around, as he reveals to Diana he's been manipulating and influencing humanity for years without taking direct action himself. Ares genuinely believes Humans Are the Real Monsters and the world would be better off without them, Diana along Steve Trevor prove him wrong with a Heroic Sacrifice and The Power of Love. Arthur Curry aka Aquaman is a Boisterous Bruiser much like his Batman: The Brave and the Bold counterpart who treats armies of enemies and world ending threats like a day at the Amusement Park. There's many instances of Arthur whooping with glee while fighting his opponents and will happily jump out of airplane without a parachute after his Fiery Redhead Love Interest. Then again it is subverted a bit, Arthur doesn't start fights (in even in barrooms) without reason, he will show mercy to foes except when given no choice and the aforementioned Diana's Lasso of Truth reveals in Justice League that he is more scared and depressed than he lets on and just uses fearless bravado to cover it up. Justified in SHAZAM! (2019) as Billy Batson is Just a Kid and the unbridled glee he gets out of stopping crime with his newfound powers can be chalked up to immunity and a lack of responsibility which he eventually gains by the end. Played straight with Freddy and especially Eugene in Final Battle when they get their Super Modes, given Eugene was a diehard Fighting Game fan who was willingly to fight bullies with nunchucks long before he got superpowers, it's unsurprising in his case. Harley Quinn along with other Suicide Squad members such as Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc and to lesser extent Deadshot have way too much kicking ass and taking names than they should. Though since most of them are criminals who only do what The Government tell them to do because of bombs in their heads this is to be expected. Harley in particular at one point in her solo movie gets high on drug fumes and with a smile goes on a One-Woman Army rampage against Black Mask's goons. |

Daredevil (2015): While Matt Murdock does have moral and justice-minded reasons for going around and beating the shit out of criminals every night, Foggy, Claire, and Elektra (among others) bring up many times the possibility that Matt also does it because he enjoys it and even that it might be the biggest reason he does so. No matter what, it's obvious that he loves a good fight. Before taking on a group of Dogs of Hell bikers early in Season 2, he gives a smile and low chuckle. | |

Thanos the villain of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame is a more subtle example and in fact he likes to act like all the violence he commits are all For The Greater Good. This is bull of course as Thanos clearly does enjoy killing and fighting, to point of even getting a Slasher Smile at one point while trying to kill Thor in Endgame. There are also several instances in Infinity War where he either tells the heroes to Bring It or gives them Villain Respect for their bravery. This side of his personality was hinted back in his Guardians of the Galaxy cameo (albeit before his characterization was fully established) as Thanos says to Ronan that his politics "bore" him, slightly foreshadowing his own extreme approach to handling a population crisis... well he is called the "Mad Titan" for a reason. Thanos's adoptive children take after him, especially The Brute Obsidian Cull who Word of God enjoyed killing solely for his personal pleasure. Thankfully for the Avengers he is Dumb Muscle being the first to be killed in the second timeline. |

Spider-Man (yes even him) as first seen in Civil War when Spidey utterly overpowers Falcon and Bucky but is delighted as a schoolboy (which he is) throughout the fight, even geeking out over Bucky's metal arm when he effortlessly catches his fist. Even up against Giant-Man while shocked at first, Spidey leads the rest of Team Iron Man in bringing it down and exclaims in triumph when he succeeds, only to be knocked down as well. In his solo movie Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter is completely reckless at times, extremely anxious for another chance to kick with the Avengers after Berlin and is left disappointed. Spidey even breaks the limits aka "training wheels" put inside his suit by Stark when foiling the Vulture's plans leading to him getting punished by Tony himself. Before the end of the climax of the movie, Peter was willing to throwing his school/social life away just to chase the glory of being a superhero before reality kicks in, but heeding his Stark's words Spidey learns from his reckless mistakes and man-ups. Peter plays it safe from then on, even refusing Stark's offer to be become recognized officially as an Avenger despite wanting it to fight with The Team so badly before then. |

Before Plantagenet has Foulques, a nuanced Blood Knight. He's a capable leader and shrewd tactician as well as a front-line fighter, and he's not so impetuous as to rush headlong into a battle he cannot live. Nevertheless, he practically lives for war, and he holds a certain contempt for those of his peers he views as too "soft" — including his own son Geoffrey. | |

Fate/Grand Order implies that this is a trait shared by all Celtic heroes (the aforementioned Lancer among them... his True Name is Cú Chulainn). The Celts are portrayed as a warrior people who relish combat and live for the thrill of fighting a powerful foe. This mostly doesn't apply, however, to Celts whose characterization is based on later Medieval romances—i.e., Fate/stay night's main heroine, Saber and some characters from Arthurian mythology, as they're usually shown as chivalrous knights who may take satisfaction from honorable duels, but fight with higher goals in mind. | |

Children of an Elder God: Deconstructed. Due to her upbringing, Asuka is very aggressive, battle-hungry and eager to engage the enemy. However, her first fight was against an alien horror was so repulsive-looking she does not even want to go near it. When it bites her robot's hand off, though, she goes berserk and bludgeons it until it is a bloody pulp... which earns her a reprimand for being too aggressive. | |

Magic: The Gathering: The Blood Knight card has a very appropriate quote: His is the fury of the wildfire, the boiling blood of the volcano. He fights you not because you've wronged him, but because you're there. This and Knight Templar are the worse aspects of the White/Red mixture, as seen in the Nobilis of War from the Shadowmoor block and the legendary creature Ruhan of the Fomori from the "Political Puppets" Commander pack. The Blood Knight is a red-colored counterpart of the much older black-colored Black Knight, who provides the page quote above. All native-born and -raised Keldons are like this, making them a Proud Warrior Race. They're also fully aware that their warmongering is to their own detriment as a society. Many of their abilities and mechanics work on an understanding that not fighting hurts, and fighting also tends to have some sort of extremist drawback. To wit: Keldon Warlord: A single creature that gets stronger and harder to kill based on the number of total creatures (minus Walls) on the battlefield. What if they threw a war...and everybody came? Keldon Berserker: They fight beyond fear, beyond thought, and beyond mercy. Keldon Twilight: If no one attacked during your turn, one of your creatures dies. Keldon Arsonist: By sacrificing two of your own lands, you can destroy a single opponent-controlled land. Fields can be replanted. Settlements can be rebuilt. Burn it all. Keldon Vandals: Keldons divide all their spoils into two groups: trophies, and catapult ammunition. Keldon Firebombers: [Jamuraa is the country Keld is invading] If there isn't enough of Jamuraa left to stand on, I will still claim it for Keld. Keldon Megaliths: A land card with the special ability to inflict damage on a single target on your turn, but only if you have no cards in your hand. This means that in a situation where a normal player would have absolutely no options, the Keldons will still find a way to hurt someone. There's even a recurring ability to sum up this trope. Formerly in black, now mostly in red, "this creature attacks this turn if able" is a common drawback, forcing creatures with it to run into the fray even if means certain death. The Mardu Horde of Tarkir are very enthusiastic about combat, to the point where their Khan is a massively aggressive orc with the abovementioned attack-each-turn drawback. They have a clan mechanic that gives them bonuses for attacking, such as increasing the power of spells or giving creatures cast after the dust settles a useful enters-the-battlefield effect. Their alternate timeline counterparts, Clan Kolaghan, are much the same, with a bigger emphasis on swiftly bounding through the steppes and unpredictably attacking whatever foes they reach. The Gruul Clans on Ravnica engage in this when not fighting out of more legitimate grievances. Bolrac Clan ogres pick fights with buildings if they run out of other opponents, and their favorite holiday, Rauck-Chauv, basically consists of breaking stuff and punching people. The Tuskeri of Kaldheim are obsessed with battle and warfare, and don't need much of an excuse to go to war beyond being bored. They're extremely disorganized warriors, disregarding strategy and tactics in favor of enthusiastically throwing themselves into the thickest frays and attempting over-the-top heroics without paying much attention to what their fellows are doing. This gets them killed pretty regularly, but the Tuskeri see glorious death in battle as their highest calling in life anyway. |

The Immortal Game: General Esteem, whose main purpose in life is warfare—hell, it's his Cutie Mark. He's so in love with war that he's disgusted by Celestia's peaceful regime, to the point that he willingly releases Titan, knowing that the latter shares his beliefs, and will enable him to fight and kill as many ponies as is needed to enforce Titan's rule of Equestria. Nihilus also counts, as does Sir Unimpressive for a heroic example. It's revealed later in a flashback sequence that Twilight's ancestor, Astor Coruscare was this. She was a powerful yet extremely ruthless commander of Celestia's army in the past. She happily slaughters an army just to make Celestia proud of her. Hell, her blade was named Sangrophile—blood lover. |

In If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device, the Big Bad of the first season, Lord Inquisitor Karamazov, believes that there is no such thing as innocence and will gleefully bathe a whole world in blood, fire or both if he suspects it of heresy. It doesn't help that he's confident that he's the only person who knows what the real truth is and won't accept the possibility that he may be wrong. | |

Tallahassee from Zombieland loves him some zombie-killin'. Give him a few guns and a couple of blunt weapons and he'll be off having fun for hours. And probably cackling maniacally while he's doing it, too. He's also a Death Seeker after losing his only son to zombies, and his only goal in life is to kill as many zombies as he can before he dies. | |

Game of Thrones: Jaime lives for fighting until well into the series. You can see his eyes light up when he faces off with Ned, and he even spends his captivity verbally sparring with his captors and generally acting like a caged lion. However, he is also courageous and (in most cases) honorable, as demonstrated by him sparing Ned after one of his men "taints" the victory by stabbing Ned in the leg. When he finally gets a sword in his hands again, his face lights up and he spends a few moments just savouring the fight to come. Robert is an example of what happens when one of these becomes a king with no enemies to fight. He was a fearsome warrior in his prime who loved battle and recalls his first kill in battle as a fond, nostalgic memory. But being king means he can't fight like he used to, he's too valuable and no one would dare risk hitting him back, which infuriates and frustrates him. And ultimately his desire to just hit something gets him killed in a Hunting "Accident". He gets called out for this by Renly during said hunting trip, who is disgusted by Robert's reminiscing about "the good old days," which was a time when the continent got torn apart by strife and tens of thousands died. As Renly points out, Robert loves his killing and became king because he used to be good at it. The Dothraki are an entire race who live this trope. They invoke Duel to the Death so frequently that a Dothraki wedding without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair. The Hound tells Sansa that "killing is the sweetest thing there is." And he further goes on to say that everyone who has ever done it loves it on some level. May be partially subverted, despite his above quote. Most of his fighting he's done has been a means to an end, and he certainly doesn't glorify the act of killing. Gregor Clegane doesn't seem to aspire to any calling higher than rape, pillage and burning his way across Westeros. It's pretty clear he became a warrior to quench his blood thirst. Subverted in that people who can actually put up a fight just angers him more, he likes killing but not the challenge. Robb shows a hint of this when he declares, "The Lannisters have been running from us since Oxcross. I'd love a fight. The men would love a fight. But I don't think we're going to get one." Ramsay's response to a raid on his home is to declare, "This is turning into a lovely evening," and charge the enemy shirtless and smiling. This is then subverted when he becomes a coward against Jon Snow. Daario declares that killing enemies and consensual sex are the greatest pleasures in life, an understandable worldview for a man who kills people for a living. In "Mockingbird", he even complains about acting as a glorified watchman. Styr looks like he's having the time of his life when he's carving up Night's Watch with his massive axe. Areo Hotah remarks in "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" that facing off with Jaime would have been a good fight once. House Umber love fighting in the front lines. The Greatjon is extremely eager to lead the vanguard. Qhono seems somewhat disappointed with the performance of Lannister soldiers, clearly expecting more of a fight. Euron loves bloodshed like few things in life. |

At the start, Thor is like any Asgardian of legend: boastful, headstrong, and will gladly take any challenger to task in the name of his homeland laughing like a boy when fighting colossal Ice Giants, and still smiling even when one headbutts him in the face. However, spending some time on Earth weans him from his one-track mindedness. Nonetheless, he still relishes fighting; upon realizing how much of a challenge the Hulk is, he smirks. | |

Harley Quinn along with other Suicide Squad members such as Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc and to lesser extent Deadshot have way too much kicking ass and taking names than they should. Though since most of them are criminals who only do what The Government tell them to do because of bombs in their heads this is to be expected. Harley in particular at one point in her solo movie gets high on drug fumes and with a smile goes on a One-Woman Army rampage against Black Mask's goons. | |

Lancer in Fate/stay night embodies this trope. He has no interest in the Holy Grail, only in beating the crap out of the other heroes in a good fight. Unfortunately, his Master does not share his Blood Knight tendencies, so there are only a few moments he can fight on his fullest and enjoy the fight. Assassin also qualifies, with his sole interest being matching blades with a Worthy Opponent, but as he's stuck in one place the entire time, he has to wait for people to come to him. Fate/Grand Order implies that this is a trait shared by all Celtic heroes (the aforementioned Lancer among them... his True Name is Cú Chulainn). The Celts are portrayed as a warrior people who relish combat and live for the thrill of fighting a powerful foe. This mostly doesn't apply, however, to Celts whose characterization is based on later Medieval romances—i.e., Fate/stay night's main heroine, Saber and some characters from Arthurian mythology, as they're usually shown as chivalrous knights who may take satisfaction from honorable duels, but fight with higher goals in mind. |

In fact, when ordered by the Eternal Empress to kill Chin Shao-yeh, she grows infatuated with him once he defeats her and refuses to try again.

Ace Combat: The Equestrian War: Night Raven, a griffon soldier obsessed with fighting and killing ponies not because of hatred, but for fun. Interestingly, while Night Raven comes off as borderline Ax-Crazy for most of the fic, he shows a bit of honor when Fluttershy defeats him, managing to congratulate her on a "good kill" before he dies. The of the EAF. It's best shown in Chapter 6 of the sequel, Wings of Unity, where she makes quite a show of bombing the Exile artillery; complete with a Pre-Mortem One-Liner ("Here, catch!") and baring her teeth when she flies up to Tornado Swirl after making the kill. A few chapters later, Flare Star delivers a... rather thorough beating to an Exile mare named Pearl Eyes, reducing the confident rookie to pleading for her life. |

Doctor Who: The Sontarans are a race of Blood Knights. In spite of their short stature and potato-like heads, they have evolved towards finding thrill in combat. Born with a crippling weak spot on the back of their necks, they must always face danger head-on. War is all they care to know. When General Staal encounters the Doctor, he shouts angrily, "Legend says he led the battle in the Last Great Time War. The finest war in history and we weren't allowed to be part of it." They're also something of a Proud Warrior Race. Their attitude means that they fight as single warriors with no real tactical cohesion, and so they rely on their individual skill and superior technology. In a straight-up fight with human soldiers using conventional weapons in "The Sontaran Stratagem", they were utterly massacred. In "The Dominators", the junior Dominator is like this, frequently disobeying and risking their plan in order to kill and destroy. Leela of the Sevateem, possibly the most badass and combat-oriented companion the Doctor has ever traveled with, is a rare example of a blood knight who's both female and one of the good guys. |

Although she changes a lot after becoming Supergirl, she still enjoys fighting (and her new powers allow her taking on giant aliens with her bare fists). Superwomen of Eva: A constant plot point in the stories in which she's a villain is that she is such a hard-core version of this (as well as being a Glory Hound) that she thinks the Superwomen's attempts to help win the war are instead "stealing" her victories and the recognition she'd get and thus ends up going to bloody war with them. |

In The Avengers (2012), the Hulk only has one reason to live; as Cap gives him the simple order "Smash" he gives a brutish smirk and gives the invading Chitauri something to think about. Even when facing Loki, an Asgardian a god in the eyes of humans, Hulk doesn't waste a second smashing Thor's little brother into the ground and walking away growling Puny God in disappointment. Hulk was at most happy being the crowning champion of the Gladiator Games in Thor: Ragnarok, he was probably much more comfortable on Skaar than Earth. |

Survival of the Fittest: Vesa Turunen of version two shows signs of this in his death scene, even believing that his death at the hands of Damien Carter-Madison was honorable enough to make up for his past mistakes and allow him to get into Valhalla. Version three character Adam Reeves, while mostly a Social Darwinist Jerk Jock, also has a few Blood Knight tendencies, as while he enjoys tormenting his weaker classmates and pushing them around he enjoys fighting the ones brave enough to push back even more. Tyler Lucas from version 5 is also heavily implied (and confirmed by Word of God) to be one. He's known for starting physical altercations with the other students, seemingly because he enjoys the very act of fighting with others. V6's Junko Kurosawa is described as someone who was an adrenaline junkie prior to the game. It's implied on a few occasions (and also confirmed) that fighting her classmates and being in danger gives her a buzz. This proves to be her undoing, as she attacks a friend over a misunderstanding, forcing him to shoot her. It's okay though: the experience gave her such an intense rush she simply smiles and gives a thumbs up before bleeding out. |

Workaholics: Karl is a slightly downplayed example of this trope. He likes to fight, but specifically at concerts, getting amped up by the music. The guys refuse to let him go to an Xibit concert with them because of his past, like biting through a little girl's ear and throwing a rock at Reba. At the end of one episode, he pretends to be sleeping with Montez's wife so that they will fight. He displays elements of the Combat Sadomasochist as well—he lets Montez get the first hit in (with a double-headed dildo) and says "oh, hell yeah, bitch" as he gets knocked down. Then he laughs as Montez keeps hitting him. | |

Perfuma in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power generally comes across as a hippie-ish New Agey type who believes in the oneness of the universe and all of that, and this is broadly accurate...buuuut she discovers in her introductory episode that she also really loves to use her plant powers to beat up Horde troopers, to the point where she agrees to join the resurgent Princess Alliance because it will give her more opportunities to use flowers as weapons of war. | |

The Legend of Korra: When she's first introduced, Korra loves to fight and picks battles just for fun. She sees bending as purely a physical skill and ignores the spiritual side of being the Avatar. Character Development sets in slowly but surely, however, and over the course of the series, she mellows out and becomes a great deal more diplomatic. On a more sinister note, there's the Book 3 waterbender villainess Ming-Hua and her recurring habits of threatening everyone and grinning evilly in battle. |

A Growing Affection makes this a trait of Pain's Ashura Path. She can sense the combat skills of other ninjas as animal motifs, and see most of the ninjas around her as ants. When she senses a badger and a falcon (Gaara and Neji) together, she seeks them out hoping they will give her a good fight. She even tells them the Deva Path has left the Rain village because she doesn't think either of them alone will be a match for her. | |

In the Predator films, the Predators apparently travel around the galaxy to go big-game hunting purely for the sport of it. The only humans they'll attack are armed and dangerous, and they refuse to attack helpless people, presumably because there's no sport in it. When they find a Worthy Opponent, they even indulge in Cherry Tapping to make it more competitive. Various supplemental materials expand on the species' culture. | |

Kimmy from the Firefly game of Cool Kids Table just likes killing people with explosives. She finds it a fun activity. The three unfrozen Jedi in the Cool Kids Table game Star War are far less peaceful than Ackbar expected. Gol even says that it's a good thing he found them instead of other Jedi since the ones who died during the Empire's take-over must have been incredibly weak if they were defeated by clones. |

In this canon, he's responsible for the events of "Dragonshy", solely to get Haru to fight him. After winning the first fight easily, he even refuses to fight Haru again until provoked significantly. After being beaten by Flame Dragon Style, he becomes obsessed with fighting Haru. | |

Mage: The Awakening: The Adamantine Arrows believe that reality expresses itself most profoundly through conflict (Existence is War) and so believe that conflict is the most viable path to enlightenment. They thus seek to become the ultimate warriors by honing their minds, bodies, and souls (The Supernal is the Self) and training themselves in as many methods of combat as possible (Adaptability is Strength), then engaging in as much conflict as possible. However, they also believe that conflict is meaningless unless the warrior is fighting for an individual, office, organisation, or cause (Service is Mastery) and adopts some manner of a code of honor (Enlightenment is Honor). The Arrow Sourcebook notes that in virtually every war in history, there were Arrows fighting for both sides, and includes an example of a character who was on both sides of the Vietnam War. | |

The Lord of the Rings has a surprisingly amount Blood Knights while the series encourages peace it doesn't shy away from idea of taking pleasures in the destruction of thy enemy. Aragon the Ranger/The Good King likes to be civil, albeit cautious but against his foes, Aragon can't hide his satisfaction. Smiling when faced with Uruk Hai on Amon Hen, and is completely okay with the idea dying in battle so long as it's going out in a blaze of glory with his friends. As Aragon says when before chasing after the Uruk Hai that captured Merry and Pippin: "Let's hunt some orc". Gimli the fearless, badass Dwarf, with shades of Violent Glaswegian in his personality. Eager to avenge his race's ancestral grudge against Orcs, and in so doing racks up the largest single body count in all three movies. Oh, and played by professional Large Ham John Rhys-Davies. Legolas while not as apparent in the books loves a good battle too, despite his almost entirely peaceful race. Legolas smirks while dodging the blows of the cave troll, keeps a kill count with Gimli over how many orcs they've slaughtered in the big battles and casually kills a building-sized elephant without breaking a sweat. |

Buffyverse: Spike. Violence isn't the only thing he lives for, but it's one of his very favorites. A flashback shows that he enjoyed fighting more than killing, and loved to go against the odds, infuriating the more "sophisticated" serial killer vampire Angelus, who much preferred to pick his victims carefully and ensure their helplessness before he got to work. This side of Spike is even more prominently on display when he discovers that his violence-dampening chip doesn't prevent him from harming demons. He is so overjoyed that he can fight again at all, he doesn't even mind that he's helping the good guys by doing so. Angel loves a good slugfest; even when he was just a normal human he continuously got in bar fights aside from whoring around with wenches. After becoming a vampire (Angelus) he plays it smart becoming a Smug Snake but that changes when he gets cursed with a soul and conscience. Angel loves fighting evil and actively disappointed when he can't go hunting, hell the only times where Angel isn't a Blood Knight is when he's Angelus. Charles Gunn, was introduced into the series like this. Slaying vampires every night in L.A, Gunn found the Angel gang's smart careful way of fighting evil "boring" and preferred just to go in swinging. This changes when he and the others join Wolfram & Hart and get a brain upgrade turning him into a super lawyer. Though Gunn still likes roughing it, he enjoys the intellectual position, but his mindset comes at a terrible cost and Gunn goes back to his street-wise personality. Even when faced against almost certain death in the finale, Gun just says he'll take the thousand on the left. Wesley is a unique example, he was Badass Bookworm who was excited to fight evil as a Rogue Demon hunter and after joining Angel's gang was always opt for one-liners. But after a tragic series of events Wesley mellows out and has a calm collect approach to foes, reminiscent of Jack Bauer. Illyria is quite fond of fighting and violence in general. All Slayers are like this. Especially as a vigorous fight and kill makes them "hungry and horny". |

Mass Effect Interregnum: Garrus Vakarian. For all that he tries to be good and honorable, he loves the parts where he gets to knock heads, because of how simple it is in comparison to justice and leadership. | |

Merlin: Sir Gwaine, an actual knight. In his first appearance, he helps Arthur and Merlin in a bar brawl because they were outnumbered and he likes those odds. In the season three finale, he says he doesn't think Arthur and Co. have any chance of succeeding in their attack to retake Camelot, but he "wouldn't miss it for the world". | |

More Than Human has two blood knights: Butch and Buttercup. This personality trait is actually a major plot point that connects the two together and allows them to bond. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Sigrun. While she's pragmatic and tries to avoid trolls if she can, she clearly likes having a good fight when she gets the opportunity. When the crew has to get rid of a water troll via getting in stranded on land, she mentions that she chose to not go into seafaring because she doesn't like this method and prefers killing trolls and beasts with her own hands. | |

Transformers has quite a few of these. Dinobot, from the Beast Wars, fits the trope to a tee. He's all about honor and glory and abhors an unfair fight because there's no honor in winning that way. He can't let a "clear out" order by without at least one objection, either. There's also Quickstrike, who will fight anyone, anytime, anywhere, while speaking in an incredibly stereotypical cowboy accent. Scourge, from Cybertron, refuses to listen to anyone who won't face him in combat. Sunstreaker from Generation 1 (comics and cartoon) was a Sociopathic Hero version of this, generally willing to run right into a heavily guarded Decepticon outpost and try to outright fight everyone inside at once. He also happens to be a huge Jerkass. The Dinobots in all their incarnations, especially the leader Grimlock who values strength above all else. Megatron in all his incarnations has grand designs to conquer the universe. Destroying Autobots is his greatest joy. He destroys everything he touches because everything is food for his hunger. His hunger for power! Of course, different incarnations are different when it comes to whether or not he loves to smash. Some versions are patient schemers and some versions love to get into the fight personally and smash some Autobots...and if you're a Decepticon, you'd still better stay out of his way when he's in this mood. G1 Megatron interestingly goes through several types over the course of his existence: as Megatron, he's a campy cartoon villain. Upgraded to Galvatron in The Movie, he becomes smart, patient, and using his increased power in conjunction with brains. Processor damage results in Galvatron becoming the biggest Blood Knight in franchise history, all about mad schemes and maximum destruction. |

A Dragon in Shining Armour: OuRyuumon can usually be heard laughing while fighting and really likes getting in close with his swords. It's one of the reasons that despite being a high-ranking member of their order, he isn't inducted into the Royal Knights proper. On the villains' side, Dorbickmon enjoys fighting for the adrenaline rush and even became a mercenary to indulge this particular vice. | |
